Briefing
TrueBlue Inc reported a net loss of $0.2 million for Q2 2025 amid flat revenue and margin pressure.
Revenue remained essentially flat at $396.3 million while gross margin contracted 280 basis points to 23.6% due to business mix shifts. The company recorded a modest net loss of $0.2 million after a $0.2 million intangible impairment, compared to a $104.7 million loss in the prior year that included a large goodwill impairment. Cost management actions reduced SG&A expense by 7.4%.
- Q2 revenue of $396.3 million was flat year-over-year as organic declines were offset by the HSP acquisition.
- Gross margin fell 280 bps to 23.6% primarily from a shift toward lower-margin staffing businesses.
- SG&A expense declined 7.4% to $89.8 million due to operational cost reductions.
- Net loss narrowed sharply to $0.2 million from $104.7 million after a much smaller impairment charge.
